On the other side stand the millions of the disinherited. They are forced to beg the moneybags for permission to work for them. By their labour they create all wealth; yet…they…struggle for a crust of bread, beg for work as for charity, sap their strength and health by back-breaking toil

On one side stand the handful of rich blood-suckers. They have seized the factories and mills, the tools and machinery, have turned millions of acres of land…into their private property. They have made the government and the army their servants, faithful watchdogs of the wealth they have amassed.

framing Lolita as a “great and tragic love story” speaks volumes about Rowling’s worldview, but it is also fascinating to me that she doesn’t seem to understand what an unreliable narrator is

Once you see it you can't unsee it, the theory of change for these people is as follows
1. Cripple a nation's economy via collective punishment. 2. (Hopefully) induce protests about the economy as a result. 3 Take these protests as a casus belli to topple the regime. 4. Cripple it more if 2 fails.

It's worth talking about how these people, nominally Democrats, repeatedly reaffirm that the point of the sanctions ie collective punishment which in turn will hopefully induce internal regime change. It's outright stated here that even if Iran did zero enrichment sanctions should not be lifted.

it cannot be stated enough that the networks doing ICE resistance and mutual aid rn are built off the work done by proPalestinian activists in the last couple years. And not just the networks but messaging discipline and tactics.
I see keffiyehs at every protest
I see the MA networks that sprung up to help Palestinians, working to support neighbors attacked by ICE
I see protest and opsec tactics being shared from the college encampments
And people still log on here to say “those pro-palestine people were just bots”

Why do your organizing over Signal? So that you don't do your organizing on an app that hasn't been tested or reviewed, run by a guy who doesn't tell his users about data breaches and security problems.

The very idea that replacing Bovino with Homan of all people was anything better than a lateral move is baffling to me.
This is how Tom Homan reacts to losing a court case to free a medically fragile 5-year-old who was used as bait to lure his dad so they could be imprisoned in a measles factory. Fuck any de-escalation stories that come out.
Columbia Heights (Liam's school district) cancelled school today because of a credible bomb threat at Liam's elementary and multiple ICE vehicles parking in the high school staff parking lot at 6:15am.

Video of his remarks where he says, verbatim, that one of his jobs as leader is to funnel more aid to Israel
75% of Democratic voters oppose sending Israel more military aid, as do 66% of independents and 60% of Americans overall according to recent polling
